What is the evidence for the allegations of homosexual relationships? This seems very unlikely for a woman whose was known throughout her life to be a very devout Catholic.

- Well, claims regarding bisexuality have popped back up twice today, both times cited to irrelevant links (both general profiles of the estimable Dame Ethel Smyth -- one mentions the Empress only as a friend and notes her sympathy with the women's movement; the other mentions her not at all. Neither, strictly speaking, are reliable sources). There would be no problem with including material drawn from clear, well-sourced material in this regard, but the fact that she was acquainted with lesbians or rumored in some unspecified way at some point in her long life to be bisexual is far from encylopedic. Perhaps these speculations tie in with her association with Marie Antoinette, who was the subject of similar gossip. Robertissimo 19:49, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
